I'm going to assume this isn't sarcasm.This is one of my prouder moments describing Haro's Original Freestyler BMX bike:
For some bike companies, releasing a bike like the Original Freestyler would be like a one hit wonder putting out a greatest hits album. Fortunately, Haro has 30 years of BMX history behind them and the Original Freestyle is where it all began. After some updates to their famed freestyle geometry Haro splashed the Freestyler with gleaming chrome, added classic Skyway mag wheels, a rugged 3-piece chromoly crankset, as well as a Tektro U-brake. This old school classic is ready for any new school tricks you have up your sleeve.
And a Haro cruiser:
Haro's Railer XS Women's is not your average cruiser. Drawing inspiration from Haro's hard-hitting BMX bikes and the fashion pages, the Railer XS certainly won't get lost in the crowd. The lightweight aluminum frame, sporting BMX inspired handlebars, offers a smooth, quick ride. Haro even added 3-speed internal gearing for a little help with the hills. When you ride a Railer XS you can be assured any "Nice bike!" comments are directed at you!
I haven't rocked this look in a long time, but I used to live in a smaaaall town and nobody gave a rat's rear end. I never did the whole PJ look, it was usually just super comfy PJ pants and a cute tank top that I would normally wear in public and of course proper undergarments. And there were certain hours I found this acceptable. Like say 5AM runs for donuts and coffee to coerce my hungover friends to get up for a trail ride and late night munchy runs. Times when no one would see me, basically. And most people think I look all of 16 so I guess I used that to get away with it.

Hi Smurf,
No you are not being a total dork for owning just sport bras. It just says yo are really into sports. That is far from being a dork. You are just being pragmatic that is all.
I bought a GRRREAT sports bra recently and would happily buy 5 more of the same and wear them all the time if not for the fact that i also got some amazingly comfortable supportive real bras from the same shop. As a 32/34 DD/E i need the support god love me, but the sporty i got is soooo good it's unreal. Nice look too.
It's a Max Sports Shock Absorber and i love it.

heheh - can't really help you on the bra question, but had to giggle at the grocery store picture. Once I get home from work (where I wear casual but clean and neat clothes that fit) I shower and jump into increasingly grubby sweat pants, thick wool socks, t-shirt and a fleece jacket or maybe a loose wool sweater with paint spots on it. So my neighbours are used to seeing me at the grocery store in either sweaty full bike commuter gear, helmet, blinky and all, or the above ballerina slash homeless woman shuffling around in untied shoes look. No wonder they look kind of flabbergasted when I turn up at school occasions wearing make-up and a skirt
*snort* just noticed - check out the last line of your post, the picture, and your .sig line, gnarwahl - perfect match![]()

The newest hip terms are either "rubbed", "rolled", or "run" as opposed to "rocked", according to BikeSnob who "runs" his finger on the pulse of bike fashion in NYC. Good to know if you are writing bike promos aimed at hipsters.
Hey I live in a REEEEEAAAAALLLYYYY small town, sort of like Mayberry but you can actually get a latte there.
There are some teenagers who come into town to be 'seen' after school in their flannel pj bottoms, and everyone chuckles at them, but they probably aren't aware of that fact since we only chuckle after they've safely passed by (we do try to be polite in our little town).
One woman in town in her 30's does this too, coming into the town cafe on weekend mornings 'rubbing' pajama bottoms, and we all openly laugh at her since she is not a teenybopper and is presumably old enough to 'take it' as well as dish it out. She does 'roll' a bra, but I'm not sure whether it's a sports bra or not.
